LONDON, Aug. 21.-In the letters Of
Stanley written from Ganbuya near
the rapids of the Truwima June 10,
the explorer says the natives evacuted
the place upon the arrival of the expedi-
ton owing to the fright produced by
the vigorous blowing OF the steamboat
whistles. They returned afterward
evincing a very amiable disposition
and promised to supply the expedition
with provisions. They informed
Stanley there were other rapids higher
up and more difficult of navigation,
and that further progress by the river
would be impossible.

Twenty years ago the chief feature Of
the plains beyond the Missouri was the
countless herds of buffalo everywhere to
be seen. Now all have disappeared.
Theodore Roosevelt says there are not
1000 buffaloes in America. 1t is said
n may travel 1000 miles on the plains
and never be out of sight of a dead buf.
falo nor within sight of a live one. But
Harper's Bazaar has the curious statment
that q new species of buffalo is developing
in the woody precipitous regions of the
mountain ranges; it shuns the open
plains, lives in small herds, is endowed
with great activity, and is a clear case
of the Survival of the fttest."

One of the peculiar beauties of the
American tariff system, says the Helena
Independent, is illustrated in the matter
of sugar. This necessity is protected to
the extent of two and a half cents per
pound and we produce about one.tenth
to one.eighth the sugar that we consume.
But it is a curious fact that last year the
United States exported about l76, 600,
600 pounds of sugar and in the previous
year 25S, 600, 600 pounds; and, still more
curious, it went mostly to England.
This was made possible by two facts;
that exporters are allowed a drawback
on exported sugar which amounts to
more than the import duty, thus giving
the refners every incentive to export;
and that Claus Spreckels imports Ha.
waiian sugar free of duty and gets the
drawback of about three cents pei
pound by exporting it. This arrange.
ment puts about half a cent q pound in
the pockets of the re6ners, apart from
their legitimate profits, and makes con.
sumers pay about three cents in taxes
for every pound of sugar they use. The
general argument does not apply to
Spreckles who enjoys the monopoly of the
reciprocity treaty with the Sandwich
Islands and can sell sugar more cheaply
in New York and England than he does
in San Francisco. his port Of entry.

A Horrible sight.

stencil filled the tenement 81 charles
street for the past few days and yes
terday it grew so bad that Mrs. Frank
lin, the housekeeper, notified the
police she believed the smell came
from a decaying pail of garbage in the
rooms on the second floor occupied by
Mrs. Melvine Payne and her daugh-
ter Anna. On Monday last the
woman had been seen closing up the
shutters and it was thought they had
gone into the country. The report to
the police brought no response and
this afternoon the stencil had grown
so vile that MI. Hannah, the owner
of the house, decided to investigate.
He got out on the fire escape and
peered through the shutters into the
women's room. He saw both women
living dead in bed which was bespat-
tered with blood. Maggots crawled
over the sheets. Horror stricken he
rushed for the police and a locksmith
was procured who burst open the
door. Disinfectants were spread
about and then an inspection was
made. The women had been lying
dead since Monday. A razor and
empty laudanum bottle were lying on
the chair beside the bed. Half stupe-
fed by poison probably and insensi-
BILE to pain the women had cut the
arteries at their elbows and ankles
and bled to death locked in each
others arms. Death had unloosened
their grip and they lay side by side
facing each other when found. Let
tiers found on the table showed they
had carefully considered the pain Of
suicide and decided to die together.
The envelope containing them was so
soaked with blood the address was al
most illegible. The police made it
out to be Miss II. A. Weed, II West
Twelfth street."
Miss Weed is the daughter of the
late Thurlow Weed and the Payne's
were known to be old friends Of the
family. The letter said:
Miss Fl. A. Weed: Dear Friend
eff anything happens that we are
both found dead will you see that we
are buried in Albany Rural Cemetery
in oaken caskets. James A. Burns of
the cemetery knows where our lot is.
Ny mother has $187 in the Blocker
Street Savings Bank. / have money
in the above bank, also in the Bowery
Savings and the Dry Dock on Third
Avenue. These amounts are to pay
all funeral expenses. We have
pinched and saved this money for a
little homestead but that is all hope
less now. We are both helpless as to
our minds. We are not fit to care for
ourselves. The contents of our house
are to be given to the poor.
The other letter said:
We are both of, us my mother and
|, insane, and dread the mad house.
We want to be with Jul family. Tell
our relatives where we lie. Our re-
latives are, Henry Martin, "a Seeley
Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio; s. M. Will
loughby, Lake county, Ohio; John A.
Mansfield, Chataqua Franklin, N. Y.
The Payne family had lived in the
house upwards of three years. They
were quiet, genteel women. Mrs
Payne was a widow about 80 years.
Her daughter was about 80 years and
was a teacher in an East side public
school. 1t was not known by the
neighbors that there was anything un-
usual about the women.

A MAN SELLS HIS HEAD FOR
TEN DOLLARS.

A curious insight into the life of the
early California miners is furnished by
the following sketch, taken from Hubert
Howe Bancroft's Popular Tribunals
An American at a c~retain mining camp,
being in haste to change his residence,
appropriated to his own use a horse be-
longing to one of his countrymen. He
rode to Calaveras, some thirty miles dis
tant, without saddle or bride. The
owner on discovering his loss armed him
self, mounted a horse, and started after
the thief. The latter was taking his re-
past at a hotel when he felt a hand laid
on his shoulder and heard q voice say
swell my friend, did my horse suit
you? It was not the best in the corral,
for you see l have overtaken you.'
Without apparent concern the other
answered that the horse was in the pas.
ture, and offered to fetch it. A ride Of
thirty miles had made the owner hungry,
so he sat down and ate beside the thief.
When the meal was finished, the two
went to the Sheriff to have the matter
settled.
There had been several thefts in the
county lately, and the thieves had
escaped; here was an opportunity to
make an example. A jury was quickly
convened, and they sentenced the Of
fender to be hanged. The condemned,
who was a young man of some twenty
five years, tried to plead in his own be.
half, but no appeal was allowed from the
verdict. He then resigned himself to
death. merely asking that he should be
shot instead of hanged. This favor was
granted him, for good shots were plenti.
full at Calaveras.
The physician of the place, who was a
sol distant phrenologist, noticed some
peculiar traits about the head of the
prisoner and offered him ten dollars for
it. The offer was accepted. The con.
demned enclosed the piece of gold in his
tobacco pouch, together with a lock of
his hair, and asked the Sheriff to send it
to his mother in Missouri, at the same
time begging him not to inform her OF
the cause of his death. The Sheriff
promised that he would simply tell her
that her unfortunate son had died from
the effects of a horse race. The fellow
took his stand before the rifemen and
barred his breast to them, asking them
not to aim at his head, as he would
wrong nobody in his last moments, not
even the physician. The volley rang
out, and the condemned fell. While the
body was still warm a dispute arose be.
tween the doctor and the Sheriff, for the
Sheriff insisted that If the doctor wanted
the head he must take the body with it.
The doctor was forced to yield; he sew.
cred the head from the trunk and carried
it away in a sack, swearing that the
next time he would expressly stipulate
that he should have the head only. He
threw the body into an old shaft and
covered it with stones.

Joseph Chamberlain's speech.


BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 21.-In a speech
tonight Joseph Chamberlain refer
ring to the crimes bill, regretted that
such a bill vas necessary, but the act
was, in his judgement, intended to
protect our Irish fellow subjects.
Chamberlain regretted that the Gov.
eminent had proclaimed the League.
He thinks they were mistaken, though
he and others who acted with them
are precluded from condemning the
proclamation in strong language. He
dwelt upon the absence of crime in
most of the districts in Ireland, and
thought the other clauses of the coer-
cion bill would be quite insufficient
to enable the Government to deal with
isolated classes. 81 am afraid, "
he added" that the course the Gov
eminent has pursued will land them
in the gravest difficulty and danger"
He quoted an Irish landlord who had
asked him the use of his influence to
prevent the proclamation, and who
had said, that left alone, the League
was rapidly becoming a laughing
| stock and sinking into oblivion, but if
the Government proclaimed it, it
would revive and get renewed SUBJ
scriptions. Regarding the report that
he had resigned his connection with
the Dissident party, Chamberlain
said: "The statement is entirely I'M
authorized and without a shadow of
fn.,rdafs0p II 10 frvvn that I.Qo.
from the Government on this n
point, but I am prepared to support
their general policy so far as in my
judgment it tends to maintain the
uniOsIY'
Referring to the recent elections and
the remarks made that the country is
returning to its loyalty to Gladstone,
Chamberlain said: "The country
never wavered in its loyalty to Mr..
Gladstone. 1t thought him griey-
onsly mistaken, but has not lost its
seuse of gratitude for his past services.
II will be a happy day for all when
Mr.. Gladstone enables us to again ar
raign ourselves on his side,"
Continuing, Chamberlain COM
planned that the recent elections were
fought under false colors. The Glad
stonian candidates, he said, adopted
the Radical Unionist principles. In
conclusion, Chamberlain emphasized
the necessity of maintaining the
Unionlst principles to which they had
given their adhesion.

the aforementioned States count their

tiers, and its inhabitants at the present
time do not exceed fourteen.
1t is situated in the eastern part OF the
duchy of Altenburg, about IN hours dis
tlnce from the watering place Of Rome

Mount Ruester, which rises TO a heightho OF
35S meters above the level of the Baltic,
and from the summit of which n over
looks an extent of country OF nearly six
teen squar miles, subject to the sway of
eighty rulers. .r
The of Rueckersdorf, twelve

order, belong to Saxony and the other six
